It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions by teaching skills for accepting internal experiences while committing to meaningful behavior.Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust. It can help with relationship difficulties, intimacy-related concerns, abandonment and attachment issues by building awareness and new ways of relating.
